Its probably the stuff the woods been treated with thats attracting them.

Hopefully once its rained a bit the residue will wash away.

As you well know Jackie dogs are attracted to smelly things, the smellier the better so I think Roxy is proberbally right.

It's always the way isn't it...couldn't have possibly chewed up the old one they have to wait till you get it all nice and new...lol...I agree with everyone else, seeing that they didn't do it before hand it must be the smell of this new one.

Jackie - Murphy will chew anything wood, fencing, patio furniture, window boxes, he even rips of the bark of my pine trees at the bottom of my garden and I recently had to rplace all the wood knobs on my welsh dresser drawers and cupboards.
